Shakhtar Donetsk vs Feyenoord Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Joseph King in Europa League Prediction
The first leg of the UEFA Europa League round of 16 sees Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk facing off against Feyenoord at the Pepsi Arena in Warsaw. Shakthar advanced to this stage by way of penalty shootout after a 2-2 aggregate scoreline against French club Stade Rennes. The Ukranians would score a dramatic 119th extra time goal to bring the match to penalties where they would emerge 5-4 winners. Feyenoord, on the other hand, earned an automatic bye into this round after topping what has to go down as the tightest group in Europa League history. With all Group F teams finishing even with eight points, it was the Dutch club’s goal differential of +4 and their goals scored total of 13 that would ultimately see them finish top.

Shakhtar Donetsk & Feyenoord Squad Analysis
Shakhtar Donetsk manager Igor Jovicevic will have a mostly clean bill of health for this fixture. The only absences from his side are Maryan Shved, who has missed the last 15 matches, and Mykola Matvienko, who missed the last match with a fever and could be back for this clash. Key to Shakhtar’s chances in this match will be the performance of focal-point striker Lassina Traore, who registered a goal and an assist in Shakhtar's most recent match.
Feyenoord manager Arne Slot has a few injuries to deal with. Most notably are the absences of first-choice goalkeeper Justin Bijilow, who is suffering from a broken wrist, and promising defender Quentin Timber who has been out since the end of February with a knee injury.

Our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Feyenoord Prediction
Despite now having a true home field advantage this season, Shakhtar Donetsk have performed admirably at the Pepsi Arena this season. They have lost only one “home” match across all competitions this season, a Champions League fixture against RB Leipzig. They’ve also managed some impressive results, including a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid and their 2-1 win over Rennes at this ground in the previous round. Given how much Feyenoord struggled away from home in the group stage, backing the home underdog looks to hold a nice bit of value. Our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Feyenoord prediction: Shakhtar double chance
